Financial Assistance

Oak Knoll’s financial assistance program ensures that our educational opportunities exist for families, regardless of their financial situation. For the 2010-11 school year, Oak Knoll awarded tuition grants of approximately $1.2 million. Please note that applying for financial aid will have no impact on the admissions committee’s decision. Therefore, we encourage families to apply.

Process and Deadlines for Applying for Financial Assistance

To begin the financial aid process, each family needs to complete and submit a Preliminary Request Form to Oak Knoll by January 7, 2011. Oak Knoll uses TADS for the filing and processing of financial aid applications. We welcome you to use the direct link below to complete your paperless application. Filing opens in November. Funds are limited so you are encouraged to apply early. Our admissions application includes a box to indicate your interest in financial aid. If you check this box, we will direct you to the TADS Web site to complete a paperless application. We will honor requests by phone for paper financial aid applications, but will charge an additional fee to file.

For new applicants, financial aid applications are due by February 4, 2011 directly to TADS.

Returning families must file by February 18, 2011. Paperwork is filed directly with TADS. Current Oak Knoll families new to financial aid must file by February 4, 2011 directly to TADS. If you are a current family applying for financial aid for the first time please contact the admissions office for more information.

Documentation must include:

• TADS application.
• All December 2010 pay stubs.
• The  parents’ completed 2009 and 2010 1040 tax forms and schedules.
• The parents’ 2009 and 2010 W-2 statements.
• Tax form 4506-T 

All above paperwork and supporting documentation must be sent directly to TADS.

Note: in situations of divorced, separated, or never married parents, both the father and mother must each file the appropriate paperwork.

Funding is limited so we encourage you to apply on time. In order for your financial aid file to be complete and ready for financial aid review, meeting the stated deadlines is critical. Completing the process by the above deadlines will require early preparation of your 2010 income taxes.
